You know, we all know that in our human world no country could have ever become a world power without being flawed. Flawed in at least some people's eyes, anyway. That article doesn't ring a bell, however, despite the obviously false claim of some we see here that Tornado Alley is an echo chamber, we've seen plenty of posts covering both pros and cons of American capitalism on the board. How else to grow but through self reflection. Metacognition, https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=167532780 . Two sides. And others sprinkled about. That's how America rolls. There would be many posts here which touch on pros and cons of American capitalism. A relatively quick wander, few from an "American capitalism" search:
Heh, first one is linked in this post to you Tucker needs tucking in. His continued shite-wash of Jan. 6 is beyond the pale. P - And yes B4 might say "- Hello?" as long as he also accepts by now the question of homelessness and inequality in America has always been one of the many focuses here. It's good he's on to them as they are important. On this board, they have always been seen as important social inequities, worldwide It's too bad they exist in America to the extent they do as they give far-right demagogues as Carlson a drum to bang on. That's seen early in that video. His "...and why is no one asking" where all the drugs come from bullshit is also typical of the Fox fuckers. See ..

Breitbart, explained: the conservative media giant that wants Trump to burn down the GOP "'Destroy Trump': Breitbart Staffers Seethe After Capitol Riot [...] But the real story here is a great deal more subtle. Breitbart’s ascendancy isn’t an accident. It’s a microcosm of the broader story of conservative institutions. The story of Breitbart is the story of the traditional conservative movement being defeated by a force, a kind of white populist nationalism, that it had previously depended on. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=160990125
conix, The Fight Over the 1619 Project Is Not About the Facts [...] The letter sent to the Times says, “We applaud all efforts to address the foundational centrality of slavery and racism to our history,” but then veers into harsh criticism of the 1619 Project. The letter refers to “matters of verifiable fact” that “cannot be described as interpretation or ‘framing’” and says the project reflected “a displacement of historical understanding by ideology.” Wilentz and his fellow signatories didn’t just dispute the Times Magazine’s interpretation of past events, but demanded corrections. P - In the age of social-media invective, a strongly worded letter might not seem particularly significant. But given the stature of the historians involved, the letter is a serious challenge to the credibility of the 1619 Project, which has drawn its share not just of admirers but also critics. P - Nevertheless, some historians who declined to sign the letter wondered whether the letter was intended less to resolve factual disputes than to discredit laymen who had challenged an interpretation of American national identity that is cherished by liberals and conservatives alike. [...] The clash between the Times authors and their historian critics represents a fundamental disagreement over the trajectory of American society. Was America founded as a slavocracy, and are current racial inequities the natural outgrowth of that? Or was America conceived in liberty, a nation haltingly redeeming itself through its founding principles? These are not simple questions to answer, because the nation’s pro-slavery and anti-slavery tendencies are so closely intertwined. P - The letter is rooted in a vision of American history as a slow, uncertain march toward a more perfect union. The 1619 Project, and Hannah-Jones’s introductory essay in particular, offer a darker vision of the nation, in which Americans have made less progress than they think, and in which black people continue to struggle indefinitely for rights they may never fully realize. Inherent in that vision is a kind of pessimism, not about black struggle but about the sincerity and viability of white anti-racism. It is a harsh verdict, and one of the reasons the 1619 Project has provoked pointed criticism alongside praise. P - Americans need to believe that, as Martin Luther King Jr. said, the arc of history bends toward justice. And they are rarely kind to those who question whether it does. P - Most Americans still learn very little about the lives of the enslaved, or how the struggle over slavery shaped a young nation. Last year, the Southern Poverty Law Center .. https://www.splcenter.org/20180131/teaching-hard-history .. found that few American high-school students know that slavery was the cause of the Civil War, that the Constitution protected slavery without explicitly mentioning it, or that ending slavery required a constitutional amendment. P - “The biggest obstacle to teaching slavery effectively in America is the deep, abiding American need to conceive of and understand our history as ‘progress,’ as the story of a people and a nation that always sought the improvement of mankind, the advancement of liberty and justice, the broadening of pursuits of happiness for all,” the Yale historian David Blight wrote in the introduction to the report. “While there are many real threads to this story—about immigration, about our creeds and ideologies, and about race and emancipation and civil rights, there is also the broad, untidy underside.” https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=156452790
As it turns out, American capitalism doesn’t hold up all that well under the stresses and strains of a virulent pandemic. [...] Currently, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is fashioning a coronavirus pandemic stimulus package that is fashioned after the Trump/ GOP $1.7 trillion tax cut — meaning, weighted to favor corporations and the wealthiest Americans. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=154488794
Socialists Will Never Understand Elizabeth Warren "conix, Sanders? Democratic socialist. Warren? Left-wing capitalist." The Democratic candidate is part of a long intellectual tradition that’s gone forgotten in the West: pro-market leftism. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=153418359
